WILLIAM M. LAFFAN SALE. 


| picture expert, and that “his judgment 
b |on art matters was final,’ was an un-| 
| favorable one. 


| E. Kirby sold the pictures at auction on 
_ | the evening of Jan. 20, has rarely, if ever, 
_ |been as sparsely filled at an auction sale 
of the American Art Association. There! 
were few dealers of prominence present, 
and almost an entire absence of the criti-. 
cal connoisseurs, which it might have 
been thought, the glowing eulogies of Mr. 
| Laffan as a picture expert, published in) 
_ f}advance of the sale would have attracted. 
»| The total of the sale for 56 pictures wae 
only $21,970, and there is reason to be-. 
lieve that many were bought by the few 
friends present or represented through 
agents. Carl Glucksmann, the dealer, paid 
$1,350 and $1,600 respectively for an 
“Adoration,” attributed to Fra Lippi, and 
a copy by Gainsborough of Van Dyck’s 
4] Charles I on horseback with its ugly 
necked horse and a “George Richards” 
was reported to have parted with $1,600 
‘for the absurdly attributed Reynolds’ 
“Laughing Girl,” which the Herald art 
_ fl reporter eulogized as “the picture bought. 
jfor 5 ens. ($26.50), by Mr. Laffan at 
| Christie’s, and over whose authenticity 
i}he won a glorious victory over the ai 


ics.” This “glorious victory” must have} 
een in the itd of the Herald man, for 
Jit was never heard of before. 

The few pictures of real quality in the 
| collection went at bargain prices. The 
| Ehrich galleries secured a little tryptych 
| for So2s, which, if it could be authenti- 
“{cated, would be worth ten times that 
sum, and Cottier and Co. secured a 
_|screen by A. Ryder and Homer Martin, 
the Americans, for only $725. C. A, 
| Platt also picked up an early but good 
3 Tarbell for $360. ~“A~ Mr. ‘Finn’ fig= 
| ured largely as a purchaser at the sale, 


jj and it was asked if he were any relation 
j\to “Mr. Fish.”

arise between two or more Bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be 
immediately put up again and re-sold. 


2. The Atictioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which 
is merely a nominal or fractional advance, and therefore, in his 
judgment, likely to affect the Sale injuriously.

required, in default of which the Lot or Lots so purchased to be 
immediately put up again and re-sold.

at the time of Sale, and the remainder of the Purchase-money 


‘to be absolutely paid, or otherwise settled for to the satisfaction 


of the Auctioneer, on or before delivery; in default of which the 
undersigned will not hold themselves responsible if the Lots be 


_ lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, but they will be left at the 


sole risk of the purchaser. 


5. While the undersigned will not hold themselves responsible 
for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or authen- 
ticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, and make no War- 
ranty whatever, they will, upon receiving previous to date of 
Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
or other Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use 


‘, every effort on their part to furnish proof to the contrary; fail- 


ing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold sub- 
ject to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being liable 
to the Owner or Owners thereof for damage or injury occasioned 
thereby. 

6. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the

moved during the Sale. 

7. Upon failure to comply with the above conditions, the money 
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited; all Lots uncleared 
within one day from conclusion of Sale (unless otherwise specified 
as above) shall be re-sold by public or private sale, without further

right of the Auctioneer to enforce the contract made at this Sale, 


without such re-sale, if he thinks fit. 


8. The Undersigned are in no manner connected with the 
business of the cartage or packing and shipping of purchases, 
and although they will afford to purchasers every facility for em- 
ploying careful carriers and packers, they will not hold themselves 
responsible for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for 
such services.

WILLIAM MACKAY LAFFAN 


The late William Mackay Laffan was in the true sense 


a connoisseur of pictures and porcelains. His knowledge 


_ was profound and catholic, and he was naturally endowed 
with the sixth sense of the collector, an intuition which served 


him in the delicate task of selection and attribution. He 


gathered his art treasures primarily to gratify his personal 
predilections, and not with the purpose of selling them. His 
instinctive tact and wide experience earned for him an inter- 
national reputation, Little wonder that his judgments were 
sought for, deferred to, and in the majority of cases were 


deemed final. His catholicity is proved by this present 


| collection, which ranges from latter-day American paintings 


to Italian and Flemish primitives, from early English por- 
traiture to Italian Renaissance, from Dutch genre to modern 
French Impressionism, from Lucas Cranach to Filippo 
Lippi. Mr. Laffan loved a beautiful work of art for itself, 
whether Oriental or Occidental. Schools greatly interested 


him, but the prestige of a mere name neither prejudiced nor 


allured him. Though, strictly speaking, he was a conserva- 
tive, he was not insensible to the manifestations of contem- 
porary art. He was thoroughly aware of the pitfalls that 
abound for the expert, and in making an attribution he 
was ever prudent and resourceful. He was intimately ac- 
quainted with all the famous collections, public and private, 
both in America and Europe. His memory was remarkable, 
his erudition not easily matched. He was truly an amateur 


of eclectic tastes.

THE ILLNESS OF KING ANTIOCHUS 


Panel 


- 


Seon Height, 301, inches; Cee inches 


Tue king is half erect in his bed on thefeft and em- 
braces the Queen Stratonice who kneels before him 
and holds a dish of soup. She points with her left 
hand to the rear where her husband, Seleukus, stands 
in the doorway and speaks to the physician Erasis- 
tratus. ‘There is a red cover on the bed and a high 
red baldachino. The queen wears a costume of light 
blue-green and white atlas and a headdress of gold 
filigree work. On a little Gothic bench in the right 
foreground a candlestick and the brocade mantle of 
the king. In the rear a window with Gothic stone 


decorations; underneath a richly carved bench and 
a buffet with plates on it to the left of the window. 
On the wall a clock in the transition style from Gothic 
to Renaissance. 


The story has been taken from Plutarch’s Life of Demetrius, Chapter 
XXXVIITI. Stratonice was the daughter of Demetrius and married to 
the King Selekus. Her stepson Antiochus fell in love with her, and as 
he could not resist his passion, he decided to die and refused to take 
nourishment. The physician Erasistratus discovered the reason and 
told it to the father who decided, on account of love of his son, to 
nominate Antiochus king and to give him Stratonice as wife.

GIOVANNI GHISOLFI 


Painter born 1632 at Milan, descended from a noble family. His teacher 
was A. Volpini, but he formed his style after Salvator Rosa. He 
painted architecture with splendid perspective. The antiquities of 
Rome afforded him material for his compositions; he drew and 
painted many of them, ornamenting them with massive figures from 
secular history and mythology. He painted frescoes. There are 
two architectural works in the National Gallery of Scotland. His 
“Marius Among the Ruins of Carthage,’ and several of his deco- 
rative pictures are in the Dresden Gallery. He died at Milan, 1683.

Tue Virgin is seated on the clouds, dressed in a 
cherry-red costume and a dark blue mantle, holding 
the nude Child on her knees. She is surrounded by 
a yellow glory which is outlined by a series of. angel 
heads. To the left St. Sebastian, nude except for a 
blue cloth about his loins, is tied to a tree and pierced 
by several arrows. He is seen in profile to the right 
and his head is raised to the Virgin. ‘To the right 
St. Roch faces the spectator, the left leg placed be- 
fore the right. He wears red trousers, yellow coat 
and dark blue-green mantle with a reddish-brown 
collar. In the left hand he holds a pilgrim’s staff, 
while with the right he shows the wound on his leg. 
Brown landscape with a view of a castle and Roman 
ruins on a hill in the centre. Blue mountains to the 
left in the distance and a viaduct to the right. Blue

Among the Ferrarese artists whose initials agree with the monogram on 
the picture is Bernardo Fiorini (mentioned in 1506-1509 and 1520 at 
Ferra), but little is known about his works. Mr. Roger Fry is of the 
opinion that the painting is very near to Ercole di Giulio Grandi.

Italian. Sixteenth Century. " Reproduction in bronze 
of the head of the central figure of the celebrated 
marble group of Laocoon and his Sons, now in the 
Vatican Museum. ‘This very interesting cire perdue 
casting was, in view of its provenance and its own evi- 
dence, attributed by its late owner to the studio of Gian 
Boullogne, the Flemish sculptor of the Renaissance, 
better known perhaps as Giovanni di Bologna (1524- 
1608). Francis I of France seems to have been the 
first to encourage the Renaissance sculptor to repro- 
duce in bronze the marble masterpieces of antiquity. 
Primaticcio’s bronze reproduction of the Laocoon is 
still to be seen in the gardens of the Tuileries. It 
seems possible that this particular piece was modeled 
under Giovanni’s direction by his pupil Domenico 
Portigiani.

4 nA 30 ~— This exceptionally interesting example of French : 


Sixteenth Century craftsmanship is in two divisions, 


i which is somewhat unusual with cabinets of this date 
he. and character. The upper portion is vertically di- 
fc vided into three cupboards and two drawers. The side 
; cupboards have swell fronts bracketed out on corbels 
ia of carved cherubim heads, and are carved out of the 
solid, with classical subjects of a nymph and satyr 
and nymph and shepherd. The centre cupboard has a 
glazed door with four panes of glass, divided by fine 
mouldings. This cupboard has a shelf and is lined 
with old silken brocade. The whole is surmounted by 


a frieze carved in fleur-de-lis and rosettes overtopped 
by a dentilated cornice, which is arched in the centre in 
a semi-circular form and supported by a carving of 


two cherubim heads. Below each of the side-cupboards — 


is a drawer with carved front and pendant handle of 
brass. The lower portion of the cabinet consists of 


three drawers, two side ‘cupboards, and an open recess - 


in the centre. The drawers, which occupy the entire 


width at the top, have fronts carved in a Renaissance 


design of floral scrolls and chimera grotesques. The 
doors of the cupboards on either side are carved and 
moulded in an architectonic classical design of arched 
niches, which are filled by applied carvings of Hebrew 
prophets, standing on brackets carved from the solid. 
The centre recess is plainly panelled. The cabinet 
stands on six feet, the four in front being turned in a 
flattened spherical shape, the two behind being of 


' square bracket form. The cabinet was probably made 


by French workmen to the design and under the super- 
vision of one of the Italian master craftsmen brought 
to France by Francis I.
